Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings

July 15, 2012 by Joshua Glasgall

Markets saw an end to the 6-day red streak with a slight rebound Friday after becoming steadily oversold throughout the week. There are many high-profile earnings reports scheduled to be released next week, and along with Ben Bernanke’s semi-annual report to congress and the final details of the Spanish bank bailout set to be announced, this trading week will be an interesting one. The top-performers from this week came from the healthcare sector along with 2 inverse leveraged ETFs.

The stock and ETFs in this week’s Big Weekly Winners: Swing Trading with PowerRatings all earned PowerRatings of 8 or higher one week ago on July 6, 2012.
